Day Dream [Dreamwastaken x OC]

Chapter 39 (smut)

i kinda forgot it's supposed to be snowing in new york.... let's ignore that
sorry for the delayed update lmao

"Charlotte dear!" Mrs Miller greets me once we enter the shop

"Hello Mrs Miller" I smile

"I see you've changed companionship since the last time you came around" she chuckles

I feel Clay's hand hold a tighter grip on mine

"I'm Clay"

I believe Mrs Miller sensed Clay's mood shift, since her eyes widened and shook her head side to side

"You know how much I disliked Aidren, Charlotte" she smiled "I'm glad to meet you Clay"

"I'm glad too" Clay answers, seeming a lot calmer now

"I'm guessing you met in Florida, right?" the old woman asks "I can spot a floridian a mile away"

"Yeah we did" I say chuckling

"Wait why can she t-" Clay begins, but I cut him off "Clay, you're blond and pale as fuck, that's how"

Both of them laugh at my remark. I think I even saw Clay slightly blush too

Once the laughter died down, the old lady speaks up again "So, how did your mom react"

Mrs Miller knows everything about my relationship with my mother. Back in high school her cafe was my safe spot, when things got annoying back home, I always came here.

"Well, this might be shocking but I think she likes him" I say, slightly bumping Clay on his side "I mean, they full on talked all alone and he hasn't run away... that's worth something, right?"

"She wasn't all that bad" Clay speaks up

Mrs Miller and I both turn to look at him, remaining silent "Yeah, she didn't say anything because you said you had money" I speak up

"Char..." The old woman says, trying to get me to calm down

"No, I hate that the only reason she- she tolerates him is because Clay had to tell her he's a millonaire" I complain, starting to het worked up, but Clay had other plans

"I would say just about anything, if it meant that your mom liked me and you get a weight off your shoulders" he almost whispers, getting closer to me and placing a soft kiss on my forehead

"But flaunting your money is not how I wanted it to go, I want her to like you for who you are no-" i begin, but Clay quickly cuts me off

"Charlotte, you said it yourself, you hate your mom, why do you care about what she thinks of me?" he says "If she truly is such a pain in the ass, then her liking me, under any means, is better for us"

"You kids are just heartwarming" Mrs Miller sweetly says "Here, let me get you what you always asked for back then"

"So... how did you find this place?" Clay asks

I debate whether to tell him the truth or not. I partially found this place because of a fight I got in with Aidren, but I feel like that might be a sensitive topic right now.

But we did talk about being more honest with each other

"Well, I had some issues with Veronica and Aidren... she tried to pull something during an event our parents made us go to" I begin to explain. Clay simply stares at me, paying full attention to what I was saying
